strive to report correctly that is their
business, and that is what they are
hired to do. So far as my acquaint-
ance with reporters goes. and it is
quite extensive, they are, almost with
out exception, an earnest and faithful
lot of workers, who know that relia-
bility is their first virtue. Let a re-
porter be as honest as Diogenes and
as faithful in his reproduction as an
echo. and he will not escape. The
very first man whom he interviews,
and who talks so much that on read
ing his remarks in print he is exceed
ingly anxious to escape the response
billy for his utterances, or at least a
portion of them, will swear that the
reporter lied about him. About one
man out of five is the average of those
who stand up to what they say; of
the remaining four two will say the
reporter lied, one will say his remarks
were misrepresented and exaggerated,
and the last will make the excuse that
he was not talking for publication.
The reporter is the scapegoat every
time.
There is too much of this sort of
thing. Reporters are employed and
paid fair salaries for their ability to
tell the truth, and the nearer man
can come to a recital of actual facts
the larger his salary is likely to be.
In nine cases out of ten it is the other
fellow who does the lying.-Chicago

much of this business Of blaming il
all on the reporter. The regularity
with which reporters lie and misrep-
resent, according to the people whom
they have interviewed, is becoming
quite monotonous. But the actual
fact about the matter is that reporters

MEMoRYs CHAMBER.

In the hears remotest chamber.
Penciled on its ruby walls,
Where the light Of days departed
With mournful glory falls.
There are many faithful pictures
Upon which we love TO gaze,
For there are the smiling faces
OF the friends Of other days.
This secluded, secret chamber
Echoes music 10 our ear.
Echoes music that We often
Almost hold our breath TO bear.
Voices Of the loved departed
Fill the weary heart with pain,
Az they echo sweetly, sadly,
Like some half-forgotten strain.
In this lonely, silent chamber,
There are treasures, rich and rare,
Such az smiles, and tears. and blessings.
And dying mothers prayer,
words Of kindness here are treasured.
Spoken in more thoughtful hours,
For their influence cannot perish,
Lovely smarinthine flowers.
In a lone, secluded corner,
Memory signs DER buried years,
And her eyes arc dim and heavy
with the weight Of unwept tears.
Like bird that vainly wishes
To be free from prison bars,
So her trembling spirit longeth
For home among the stars.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A frightful accident occurred last evening
struction on North Main street. The victim
was David Marshall, carpenter and fore
man Of the body of men employed in doing
the wood work Of the building.
He was going up to the last story of the
building, having in one hand a roll of money
for the men and endeavoring to hold on the
ladder with the other When he had reached
the last story he caught hold of scantliDg,
and in endeavoring to lift himself up, the
timber broke and he fell backward through
an opening in the fourth floor, a distance of
twenty five feet, alightipg on the joists of the
third. The iaborers saw he was badly
injured and Immediately sent for physi-
clan.
DIR. Tilden went up into the building and
seeing that the man had dislocated his arm
and broken his leg ordered his removal to
his room in the City Hotel Here an exam
nation was made by DR.. Tilden and DIR.
Former and his injuries found to be of a SER
ious character, he having suffered sub-clav-
ocular dislocation of the arm and COM
pound complicated fracture of the leg.
Mr.. Marshall about 40 years of age
and unmarried. He has been in the city
eighteen months, a temperate man and
has the reputation of being a very sl1illfu
workman. 1t is feared that amputation of
the leg will be necessary; at any rate his
physicians think it will be at least six months
before he will be able to place his foot upon
